Well, we figured out what's causing my vertigo

I dont know if i've posted on here before about my vertigo or not, my minds about scrambled. Long and short of what vertigo is, to put it in redneck terms (only ones i understand hahaha) It feels like youre walkin on yer lips drunk. Minus all the fun of it. Just the dizzy, heavy headed feeling. It happens randomly, and stays for a couple weeks, totally making you worthless.

ANYWAY



About 6 months ago, i got a clog in my left ear. Too much ear wax. Gross, i know, lol. Well me and pops decided to fix it our selves. Laid on my side, put hydrogen peroxide in my ear to help loosin in. Then, pops took a turkey baster and sucked it out. We repeated this process about 5 times.

Well i just got back from the Doctors office. Told them what we did a while back. Doc said that because of us doing that, it damaged my ear drum and put "water on my ear". The vertigo is happening because when pops "sucked" with the baster, i guess it moved the crystals around in my inner ear. And randomly theyll jump out of place, making me dizzy. That, plus the water on my ear makes for a helluva experience.

Anyway, i know this dont have chit to do with scrappin, thats why i put er in the off topic area. I was just excited to know that i dont have brain cancer or somethin crazy like that haha.

lol walkin' on your lips drunk.

Is there any treatment for it?

Hahahahahahahahaha Dune, no kidding. Well, we thought that if he used the turkey baster, it would "suck out the clog, too".

Yeah.....

Idaho, dont ya love my redneck terms? lmao.

Nope, theirs really not. Their is a maneuver you can do. Basically tilt your head all around in different positions to help the crystals line up like they're supposed too. My last vertigo episode i did that. Didnt do anything.

So now, i'm just on a straight Dramamine diet. Dramamine helps with the nausea because of the dizzyness.

Glad you figured it out, finally! I was thinking about doin that b/c my right ear is messed up.... I guess I'm not gonna try it lol.

ear candles rock!

I hope you'll feel better soon Hoss

Atleast your tater tots are still intact lol. SRY had too. but hope things work out for ya man. and oh btw I now know your pain on CRTs. that crap HURTS.

Might need a new baster before November! LOL

I have the exact same problem. Caused by extremely close proximity to a gunshot it gets better over time.

It didnt feel pleasant lol.

just in case any one thinks my run of bad luck is all in my mind, I clicked on this one while I was eating lunch .
